The euphoria may touch off giddy and impulsive behavior, such as Patty's repeated gesture, just after her capture, of raising a clenched fist.

Szeryng, Fournier and Rubinstein rank high among the successful exceptions to this individualistic rule. In these trios, each player retains his own particular musical fist yet manages to fit it into his neighbor's glove. In perfect harmony, they play as if they were giving birth to true Schubertian miracles-which indeed they...
